Ok so I have had two weeks break from running. A miserable time for me as I see the fitness eek away by the hour!
I tried to stay in shape getting out on my bike every morning for a 30km torture fest. I am keen to push it on the bike but had the unfortunate circumstance of ladies going past me seated whilst I am up and out of the saddle on an uphill. How can this be happening? I convinced myself that these must be semi pros and riding feather light carbon framed bikes. I got home and weighed my Woolies Special , it was some thing like 14kg! these ladies are riding 7kg and that must be the reason they were passing me!! (My wife says just accept it they are better cyclist than you)
I tested the heel today with my 10.6km Roo+Lake untimed.
The rest has done nothing to improve matters so Monday I'll get booked in for the Lithotripsy
Congratulations to my fellow M50 Bruce Graham down in Canberra, he ran 15;55.04 on Friday night. It is a shame I'm looking increasingly unlikely for Nationals this April in Melbourne as fit, we could have pushed each other to Championship bests if not age group records.
I have morphed over these last two weeks , I have got all the bike gear but having a heavy bike means I am not competitive. Can you believe people have been telling me sandals and socks are not a good look!
And this one really is me with my first set of wheels in the back garden Colindale London NW9 in the early 1960's!
